Call to Order

The Collingwood Public Library has a responsibility to raise awareness of the history and ongoing impacts of colonialism on this land. 

We acknowledge the Lake Simcoe-Nottawasaga Treaty of 1818 and that the land on which we gather is the traditional unceded territory of the Anishinabek, Haudenosaunee, and Ojibwe peoples. We honour them for having lived here and cared for this land, from time immemorial, and we recognize the reality of our shared history, and the current contributions of Indigenous people within our community. 

We seek to honour Indigenous peoples, history and culture, and are committed to moving forward in the spirit of truth, respect, and reconciliation.
